IT JUST GETS BETTER! REACTING TO NETHERLAND'S SONG FOR EUROVISION 2024 // JOOST KLEIN "EUROPAPA"

[@Lorena-uw7ex]

From the Netherlands here! Tysm for you reaction, I needed a positive one so bad. Joost Is not really appreciated with the older peeps here so a lot of negativity in the news and online from them, but so happy to see how people across Europe react so well

[@elaifull]

It’s so fun and so good! Be proud! Love from Italy❤️🇮🇹

[@jacob.basque]

you all can be proud of joost! greetings from 🇪🇸🫶🏻

[@Dano-ph5xl]

To be honest people here were even hating on Duncan when his song came out lol.

[@BoG_City]

Joost will introduce a new generation to Eurovision because of this here in the Netherlands and i'm excited for it. I also feel i'm too old to follow whatever Joost is doing (voel me echt oud), but his energy and representation in everything he does is undeniable. Let the older people whine all they want. This is awesome. And for me with Paul Elstak nostalgic as hell

[@abrielrobertsson4160]

Vast majority loves it. It's fun, emotional, many Dutch elements for once, it's great. Who cares about old people give me a break 😂. We will vote for it, not Dutch old people. Even if it doesn't qualify (it will), it will make lots of people happy and smile. That's all what it is about imo.

[@ferisadi2418]

This song is a tribute to his father / Parents who passed away. Europa in Dutch means Europe. Pa or Papa means dad. His dad once told him the world has no “Grenzen” which could be translated to both borders (Borders are a man made concept) or limitations (Many people create their own limitations in their own mind). This life lesson inspired him to have keep having an open view on the world and live his life to the fullest without putting limitations on himself. After his parents died he carried a lot of pain with him. No matter where on earth he was (Germany, Italy), whatever food he would eat (Escargots in France, Fish and chips in UK, Paella in Spain), he still carries this pain with him. In the end nobody but himself could deal with this pain and he himself must find peace with his losses. Only going through the grief and finding inner peace would put a end to this suffering. This song tells the story of him as an orphan trying to do exactly that. Him creating this song was a huge part of this process. The line with Stromae / papaoute (which Translates to: Dad where are you), is followed with the words about how he wants his parents to be proud of him. He used to watch Eurovision with his parents and told them one day he would be there performing. Which is what he now did.

[@hugwe6335]

There's a possibility that DJ PAUL ELSTAK will appear on the Eurovision stage. This further confirms we're living in a simulation.

I can't get Europapa out of my head. Another party banger this year. I need the Netherlands, Estonia, and Finland in the final with our boy Baby Lasagna. It's a party ESC year for sure. 🥳

[@marina6833]

they will!!

[@Dannyknuiman]

i guess joost has an interesting song and when the staging is on point it will do very well, but your country is my favorite and even better

[@keksic7]

@@Dannyknuiman Thank you! We all have high hopes for Baby Lasagna. He's an incredible person who put in a lot of hard work. Croatia has never shown this level of support for a candidate before, and we are hoping for the best, but we will be proud no matter what the outcome may be. 🐱♥️ But I'm really hoping Joost gets great results too. His song is interesting, catchy, and has that ESC factor. He definitely has my vote and I'm sure he can get fair amount of public votes. 🥰 I can't wait to see both performances. I hope that both Joost and Baby Lasagna do well and that we'll see them in the final.

[@1Lyvyan]

You are the first Reaction KZbinr that gets the reference to Dutch gabber music right. Thank you for that!

[@Johan91NL]

Uhm yeah she mentioned ''gabber'', but a bit later she calls the music hardstyle instead of happy hardcore. So yeah....

[@Tuinierenopstrobalen]

Joost Klein is Groot! He dedicated this song to his father who died when he was 12 years old. His dad taught him that the world has no true boundaries. His mother died when he was 13. He is a HUGE inspiration to young folks, he is such a legend. The world needs more people like Joost. He has gone through so many challenges in life it is a true inspiration to see how he deals with it. Joost Klein is Groot! And I am 40 plus so it is not just young people..😄🍀🥰

I find him a very unique and authentic artist, and he is a strong live performer. Joost has my televote! With love, from Belgium.

Can you please turn DOWN the music volume a bit more? I can still just hear it if i'm super quiet...

i cry the last 30 second 12 points to the Netherlands

[@CountryBalls1107]

Me too

[@saraa7841]

You said it well, i think this is Gabber & you have the Hardstyle bit… basically what the Netherlands is known for

[@Johan91NL]

The hardstyle bit isnt hardstyle but happy hardcore.

[@lies-g4u]

the end is about his dad, his parents died when he was about 12 year old. At the end he's talking about that the wold has no boundries and thats something that his dad told him. :)

[@laserspewpew_7175]

This is my favourite this year. Again though I just worry this may not get a great jury vote but the televote will smash it.

[@jackallen83]

This is a jammer ! Definitely my number 1 so far.

[@kiekendiefje]

Hey Noosh, did you see that S10 made an appearance in the video? I loved her song :-) Joost his style is not really my style, but I do like and appreciate this entry 🙂Thanks for your positive reaction :D

[@Djekkie-gj7jz]

Many people call this 'scooter' music, but actually this is 'Gabber' music. Gabber is a Dutch music movement that emerged in the late 1980s. Dancing to this music was also called Hakken in the Netherlands. Scooter is a derivative of Gabber. By the way, this is a cut version, and unfortunately ruins the song.

[@Micha3lSuper]

Netherlands and Italy are super Friends, go Netherland ❤🇳🇱12 points🤝🏻🇮🇹

[@brotherlou-e]

HAKKUH !!!

[@erinnadia0409]

I love his facial expressions! He's such an amazing actor

[@SquirrelMonkeyCom]

The song is a cheerful, comedic and caricatural tribute to Europe, but it takes on a completely different meaning when you consider the life story of the musician behind it: a sad story. He dedicates the song to his parents, whom he lost at a very young age. First his father died when he was only 12, shortly after that suddenly his mother died. He sings Europ-"papa" (nice alliteration, but it's not a coincidence) and at the end of the music video, we see a metaphorically burning house where you literally see his family photo burning away. A very unfortunate childhood, but Klein finds comfort in the love of his parents and it even turned him into a musician. He started writing to process his huge loss. At the end, he quotes optimistic words from his father and says, "See, daddy? I listened to you."

[@kristofsportingdogs3549]

First time in a long time I was interested in Eurovision. But now I’m all done with it for good. What a disgrace to ban somebody on a complain only. Next year if you want an opponent taken out. Just harass them against made agreements, and if they just respond one tiny bid in a wrong manner (Joost didn’t touch anybody and had asked several times to stop filming directly after the show, as was agreed beforehand (which has a very emotional ending for him) yet they kept filming), then go to the police, file an official complaint, and he will be disqualified, just because there is an official complaint, that hasn’t even been fully investigated! What is EBU going to say if the investigation clears Joost from any grave wrongdoing? Greetings from Belgium.

[@PinnacleNL]

I'd just like to point out that Scooter was only a very successful copycat. Everything he did came from The Netherlands. Don't get me wrong, I loved Scooter, I grew up with that shit as well, but it was just an interpretation of a genre invented in The Netherlands. Scooter just happened to really get famous with it. Point being: When you say Scooter... a very German band... then what you're referring to couldn't be more Dutch.

[@Your_disney]

The sounds are early 2000's and some sounds 2010's But new, you know what i mean? And the beat when the people dancing crazy was called happy hardcore and was very popular in the 90's. The dance was called Hakken and the group was calling themselfs Gabbers. O yeah and the godfather of hardcore "DJ Paul ELsak" helpt with the (happy) hardcore beat. He is even in the car (in the clip), the bald guy in the car. Joost Klein lost his father when he was only 12 and a year later his mother died. Song tribute to his parents, and a message to his father i have done it dad. He prommised his dad that he would be performing at the eurovision.

[@robbievisser4025]

theres A MASSIVE dutch identity to the video clip, i could explain them but only dutch people can connect to it the most
